CRC Gen-X top plate & Truer adapter
Categories - Accessories, CRC, On Road, Products, Tools - add a comment
CRC have released some new items starting with this top plate for the Gen-X 12 and 10. Made from 4mm carbon fibre, this optional top plate is super rugged and is more resistant to breaking than the standard version, something that is necessary thanks to super hot motors. Supplied with 3 longer screws for mounting to the motor plate and the centre standoff. CRC have also introduced their True-all tire truer adapter, suitable for 12th, 10th, & TC. Fitting most automatic tire truers from manufacturers like Hudy, Integy, Ofna, GQ, and more, it features a steel threaded stud that will last much longer than some of the competition’s aluminium threads and the threads are even replaceable. Finally the company has released ceramic engine and clutch bearings, which they claim are far superior to the regular steel pieces that come with the engine. More RPM capability than the steel counterparts and the ceramic balls reduce rotating mass and friction.
